Rebirth Counterattack: I Heard That the Imperial Marshal Has a Crush on Me

Chu Muxi tilted his head. “Do you have to teach like this?” he whispered, his ears burning.

Lu Junzhi held his hand tightly, and the hot air he exhaled brushed against Chu Muxi’s ears, making them turn red.

Lu Junzhi lowered his voice and chuckled softly. “Don’t think too much; be serious.” He took out a blindfold from the side and put it on Chu Muxi.

“Who isn’t serious?” Chu Muxi said angrily, trying to struggle and dodge, but Lu Junzhi locked him tightly in his arms.

“Stand still, steady, three points and one line.” Lu Junzhi held his wrist. “Three points and one line, look straight.”

Chu Muxi straightened his back and focused on the target in front of him.

“I’ll count down to three, two, one, and you shoot,” Lu Junzhi said.

Chu Muxi swallowed and nodded. “Okay.”

“Relax, it’s fine.” Lu Junzhi let go of his hand and gently pinched his shoulder. “Three, two, one!”

“Bang! Bang!” After a few gunshots, Chu Muxi immediately took off his blindfold and asked excitedly, “How is it? How is it?”

Lu Junzhi pressed a couple of buttons on the light screen, and the target appeared on it.

Chu Muxi rushed over to take a look. “This is—all hits?!”

Three shots, all three hit the bull’s-eye!

Even Lu Junzhi was slightly surprised and praised him, “Great.”

“This can’t be fake, right?” Chu Muxi checked it multiple times in disbelief. “Am I really that amazing? Could I be the legendary genius sharpshooter?!”

Lu Junzhi smiled and said, “You are.”

Chu Muxi laughed happily and looked at the screen several more times.

In the monitoring room, Zhou Xu and others in the training room had been watching the scene unfold on the screen. Christie touched his chin and smiled slyly. “I didn’t expect our boss would learn to lie just to please someone.”

Lu Junzhi had been holding onto Chu Muxi’s hand and hadn’t let go even after encouraging him with a squeeze of his shoulder.

Rather than saying Chu Muxi had hit the target himself, it would be more accurate to say that Lu Junzhi had guided him through the shots.

When Chu Muxi took off his blindfold, Lu Junzhi released his hold and turned on the screen as if nothing had happened.

Chu Muxi had been too excited and nervous to notice these details at all.

On the contrary, the people in the monitoring room saw everything clearly from start to finish, including how their boss uttered the words “great” completely “against his will.”

If it had been any of them, even with the boss teaching them personally, such a result wouldn’t have warranted a blink from him.

After all, enemies wouldn’t stand still to be a target. During their regular training, the targets moved as if whipped.

Not to mention, the indulgent smile from their boss just now was one of the most shocking events of the year.

If they went back to the base and told others about it, everyone would probably think they were having a collective nightmare.

“I never thought I’d see the boss smile like this in my lifetime—” said one of the crew waiting for them at the end of the starship’s connecting cabin, goosebumps rising on his arms. “What should I do?”

“Is there something wrong with my eyes? Has the boss been possessed?!”

“No, we all saw it.”

Zhou Xu’s mouth twitched, and he finally said, “Okay, don’t stand around here. Go back to what you were doing.”

The group dispersed, and Christie suddenly approached Zhou Xu.

“Xiao Zhouzhou, do you want me to take you to shoot at the target? I’m very accurate; I can hit the bull’s-eye with one shot.”

Zhou Xu: …

‘I’ve endured this long enough; there’s no reason to endure it anymore.’

“Get lost!”
